GateHouse Files For Chapter 11

To the Moderator of this Board: Have not been on for a few weeks, so I may be behind here. But I just saw this this morning and thought I would pass it along, hoping there is no D-B here. Thanks.
GateHouse files for Chapter 11 hoping restructuring will help it with its debt.

I would just like to get a check on a regular basis as a stringer instead of having to wait as long as I do to get the check. I love working for the GateHouse owned paper on a part-time basis (I really do!) but the last few times I have completed an assignment, the wait to get paid has been LENGGGGGGGGTHY!

Anyone have that experience as a stringer with them?? There is ABSOLUTELY NO "bashing" or "bad-mouthing" here. I really enjoy stringing for them, but waiting to get paid as long as I have is my major issue(Sorry my edit skills failed me when I first posted...I have ZERO MALICE toward them [I would just like to get paid a little more regularly, that's all]).

Fellow GateHouse stringer here, definitely used to the waits--especially bothersome in those stretches when my writing income is filling in the gaps in the family ledger. Personally I never understood why they didn't have a fax machine or use email to take invoices--is this just a GateHouse thing, or do most national media companies require their invoices to be postal-mailed in 2013? (actually a serious question--every other media operation I've worked for has been locally owned)
